Phyllobius pomaceus  |
||
| Phyllobius pomaceus is an abundant species found mainly on Nettles and in a range of habitats. There seems to be a slight variation in colouration, with some specimens showing a distinct purple tinge. The colouration fades with age, being made up of a covering of scales which become worn and eventually rub off. It is one of many UK Weevils and belongs to the Curcullionidae group, which feed on plants. Most are easy to distinguish from other beetles, due the head being extended into a beak (rostrum) with the jaws at the tip. | ||
